Mr. Bilello's presentation will take place during the afternoon of day 2 of the conference, on 20 February.
Like other applications, a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution can and should play a major role in an enterprise's overall application architecture. It is critical that an organization understands the role PLM should play within its application architecture, and what processes are and should be within its scope.
At the core, an enterprise's application architecture should be governed by the organization's Business Platform that defines and manages the organization's business regulations and legal requirements, mission statement, core values and beliefs, and strategic business plan. That Business Platform also needs to provide oversight and governance, as well as enable the organization's enterprise innovation management processes through which it determines where and when it will focus its innovation resources.
In general, input into an enterprise application architecture (EAA) is from an organization's suppliers and the output is to its customers. In the middle are the functions that the enterprise needs to perform to create value. This presentation will investigate this important topic, as well as describe a comprehensive EAA model and PLM's place within it.
